Excerpt from Recent Physical Research: An Account of Some Recent Contributions to Experimental Physics The present-day student of Physics soon becomes aware of the fact- that important, contributions have been added to this branch of knowledge in recent years, which are barely if at all referred to in general treatises. The text-book, even when fresh from the press, is, perhaps necessarily, several years behind the wave-front of advancing knowledge. Attention is liable to be especially long withheld in the case of work done outside one's own country. An attempt is here made to give a connected description of the ground covered and of the. paths of advance in some of the recently acquired provinces of Physics. The book is based on a series of bi-monthly articles, under the same title, which appeared in "The Electrician" in 1910 and onwards. The author desires to express his thanks to the Editor and to the Publisher for placing the text of the articles and the blocks used for the illustrations at his disposal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
